Clean, contemporary lines with a base of neutrals strengthened with sophisticated colour choices. A simple, modern nursery layered with texture and pattern with surprising but not overpowering orange and pink colour accents. A room that is functional and stylish. Not at all twee. An apartment which plays with scale and texture softly embellished with pastel blues. Beautiful interiors by Chantal Spanicciati of Meta Interiors.
If our first Melbourne house was a riot of family colour our second is a study in well curated neutrals. This Malvern home is a marriage of old and new, with warm caramels, offwhites and beiges lifted, or should that be grounded, by black. It has every Australian's dream ... no not the pool or outdoor kitchen but an open plan kitchen, dining and family living with access to al fresco dining. Open plan is a national obsession here in Oz. Link here while it works.
Welcome to a week of real estate stalking. Yes I dropped down the rabbit hole of real estate listings and came up with all sorts of gems. Big and small, high end and just within reach (if anything is within reach in Australia's still inflated housing market). Let's start with this 1940's beach house in Avalon, Sydney. Apparently the original owner carried each sandstone block from a nearby quarry. Love the neutral, relaxed vibe. A nice change from the blue and white often associated with beachside living. And if you like the chunky wooden furniture then check out Mark Tuckey's website or pop into Mark Tuckey. home. in person at Avalon Beach. Link here while it lasts.

There's something so dramatic and breathtaking about a neutral space with moody, dark colours. LOVE this one by Lukas Machnik.
